Save button

[PoorCadaver]

Hi,

Is it possible to show table data in a form, alter it and not have it update the table content until I hit a save button?

Please follow Glaxioms post in this thread, and the posts he links to there.
I have it bookmarked because it seems like a great concept, but have not practiced it yet.

the normal behaviour is not to require a save button, therefore
a) it is somewhat unusual to require a save button
b) with a bound form, it is actually hard to prevent the record saving as there are many ways to save the record without pressing the save button
c) therefore I tend to use unbound forms and a save button when I want to control the save process.

Ok, maby my approach is wrong? I would like to make changes to data in a form but I want to chose to save it when I'm done so that I can cancel the process without saving the edits I've done.

then the easiest way is to have an unbound form, I think.

However by going this way, you lose many of the intrinsic benefits of access, and force yourself to need to write lots of otherwise unnecessary code.
